Left hand drive. Walter P. Chrysler could not have forseen the stock market crash of 1929 when he introduced the low-priced Plymouth series in 1928, but had it not been for the Plymouth line, Chrysler would have had a difficult time surviving the early years of The Great Depression. Intended as a competitor to America's low price leaders, Ford and Chevrolet, the Plymouth had a spectacular introduction at New York's Madison Square Garden in July 1928, with Chrysler dealers from around the country dressed up as Pilgrims (the car's namesake was Plymouth Rock), sharing the stage with none other than aviatrix Amelia Earhart, already a well-known motoring enthusiast and spokeswoman for Franklin Motor Cars. The most advanced car in its price class, the Plymouth offered four wheel hydraulic brakes, full-pressure engine lubrication, aluminum alloy pistons, and an independent hand brake, a combination of features that would not be offered on competitive models for nearly a decade. As the Depression deepened, the affordable Plymouth, priced at an average of just $500 became the car of choice for many and by 1932, model year production toppled over 80,000 cars, and by the year's end it seemed as though there was a Plymouth on nearly every block in America. Mr. Brown purchased the 1932 Plymouth Convertible Coupe a little over 15 years ago while at the Hershey, Pennsylvania auto meet. Prior to his purchase, the Plymouth had been awarded with a National First Prize from the AACA, attesting to well restored condition. A new red interior was fitted within the last two years. The overall restoration appears to have been nicely executed and the Plymouth is reported to be in very presentable overall condition. WITHOUT RESERVE
